Summary
This study introduced an online program to boost students' social-emotional skills, focusing on critical thinking and resilience. Preliminary findings show improvements in critical thinking, with mixed results for other targeted competencies.
Area of Science:
- Educational Psychology
- Social-Emotional Learning
- 21st Century Skills Development
Background:
- The Center for Curriculum Redesign (CCR) framework outlines key 21st Century Competencies.
- Developing social-emotional competencies is crucial for student efficiency in modern and future environments.
- Existing literature highlights the importance of social-emotional learning (SEL) and emotional intelligence (EI).
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate an online program, "BE organized," designed to enhance students' social-emotional competencies.
- To assess the development of critical thinking, mindfulness, resilience, and metacognition through targeted online sessions.
- To explore the impact of individual and collective sessions on creativity and growth mindset.
Main Methods:
- A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative (two questionnaires) and qualitative (reflective questions) data collection.
- Program evaluation involved 27 school-age students.
- Sessions focused on individual skill development and collective 'action labs' for collaborative competencies.
Main Results:
- Preliminary results indicate a positive development in critical thinking, supported by both quantitative and qualitative data.
- The program showed mixed outcomes for mindfulness, resilience, and metacognition.
- An increase in creativity and growth mindset was observed, though attribution to specific session types remains unclear.
Conclusions:
- The "BE organized" online program shows potential for enhancing critical thinking skills in students.
- Further research is needed to clarify the effectiveness of specific program components on all targeted and emergent competencies.
- Findings contribute to the understanding of SEL and 21st-century competency development in educational settings.

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

01:30Cognitive Development During Adulthood

Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

01:18Cognitive Development During Adolescence

During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive development that enhances their understanding of others' emotions and thoughts, known as cognitive empathy. This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the...

Cognitive psychology emerged as a significant field in the mid-20th century. It focused on understanding humans' internal mental processes. This approach emphasizes how people perceive, remember, think, and solve problems—elements critical to human cognition.
